Education department for the new century
Scientifically diagnose "differences", teach students in accordance with their aptitude, "adhere to the unity of all-round development and personality development", "care for every student, promote every student's active and lively development, and provide every student with a suitable education" ... In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Outline of the National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (2065,438+00-2020), let students' personality develop in. "At present, all the schools under our group are using our own educational diagnostic tools, such as student basic information collection scale, academic basic test, learning ability test, learning adaptability test, student personality test and student specialty test." Teacher Wu, the head of the differentiated education research project of New Era Education Group, told the author that New Era School tests the academic foundation, learning ability, learning adaptability, personality traits, personality characteristics and learning background of new students every year, and forms a differentiated diagnosis report for each student through comprehensive analysis. In view of group differences and individual differences, the school sets differentiated training objectives, carries out hierarchical teaching and dynamic course arrangement, and stimulates students' potential and promotes their diversified development through scientific and effective differentiated evaluation. The academic basic test is mainly to understand the basic knowledge of Chinese, mathematics, English and other disciplines before students enter school; Learning ability test, mainly to understand students' cognitive ability; Learning adaptability test, mainly to understand students' interests, habits, will quality and other non-intellectual factors; Personality trait test, mainly to understand the development of students' multiple intelligences; Personality test, mainly to understand students' music groups, personality tends to be introverted or extroverted; In the aspect of learning background, students are asked to fill in the basic information collection scale to understand their family education and their education in other schools before entering school. These six aspects of information are all important factors closely related to students' learning quality. New Era Education Group can scientifically diagnose the "differences" in students' learning by developing a set of educational diagnostic tools based on domestic and foreign research results, so as to carry out teaching activities according to these "differences". In the past education and teaching, the judgment of students' differences was often based on teachers' experience and ability, which inevitably had limitations. New Age Education Group has solved this problem by developing more scientific differential diagnosis tools. "Scientific diagnosis not only provides effective data for the establishment of students' basic files, but also provides a basis for teachers to analyze data, understand individual differences and set development goals, and then find the breakthrough point of education. "When talking about scientific evaluation and diagnosis, Xie, vice president of New Era Education Group, proudly said:" Our team has been paying attention to and solving the real problems encountered in the process of students' growth, and it is really a professional education. " Constructing differentiated courses to meet diversified needs After differentiated diagnosis, New Era Education Group also provides alternative courses for different types of students from the school level, so that different students can really develop. According to the regulation of "implementing three-level curriculum management at the national, local and school levels", New Era Education Group has established the curriculum training goal of "cultivating modern citizens with international vision, humanistic spirit, scientific literacy and physical and mental health" and the curriculum setting principle of "following balance, strengthening integration and providing selectivity", making full use of the curriculum resources of schools and communities, and adopting the methods of selecting, adapting, newly compiling teaching materials or designing learning activities through cooperation with external forces. Explain the artistic and educational value of children's films; Organize weekend movie salons; Watching movies to learn writing, expression and emotion ... Teacher Liu Ziteng of Pingyang New Age School in Zhejiang Province, a subsidiary of New Age Education Group, opened a course of "Children's Film Appreciation" according to the characteristics of boarding schools, and arranged a detailed activity flow in the "Course Implementation" column of the application form for differentiated school-based courses. In order to standardize the development of school-based curriculum, Pingyang New Era School, under the guidance of Dr. Li Jinfeng, the consultant of the group's curriculum development, specially formulated the Outline of Differentiated School-based Curriculum, which put forward requirements from the aspects of curriculum category, curriculum objectives, curriculum content, curriculum implementation and curriculum evaluation. In the selection of materials, regional differences should be reflected; On the subject matter, we should reflect the differences of disciplines; In terms of content, it is necessary to reflect the level differences ... the textbooks written by teachers should reflect this difference. What parts should each unit consist of? Teachers should have a clear idea. They should not pile up a lot of materials and present all the contents in the textbooks ... The compilation of differentiated school-based textbooks should conform to the "five benefits" of "enriching students' experience, broadening students' horizons, developing students' personality, allowing students to choose independently and taking care of their differences", and earnestly achieve the core concept, reflect the learning process and embody education. At present, we have developed four school-based courses, including extended courses, elective courses, courses with foreign language characteristics and comprehensive practical courses. According to the group curriculum outline, subordinate schools will carry out secondary development to meet the individual needs of students. "Zhou Dean Sheng Yuan said. Carrying out differentiated teaching and evaluation "To achieve good teaching results, we must first have clear goals. Compared with the absence of clear teaching objectives, having clear teaching objectives in teaching can improve efficiency by 50%. As Professor Hua of China Academy of Educational Sciences said in the book Differentiated Teaching Strategies, it is undoubtedly of great value to set the classroom teaching objectives differently to improve the classroom teaching efficiency. When teaching senior high school mathematics as an optional course of 2-2 "Derivative and Its Application", the Mathematics Group of Chongqing Zhongshan Foreign Language School, a subsidiary of New Era Education Group, sorted out the two-way detailed list of college entrance examination questions in recent five years, and found that "derivative formula of common basic elementary functions", "monotonicity and derivative of functions" and "extreme value and derivative of functions" are high-frequency test sites in 14 knowledge points, so the ability level of teaching objectives is determined as "flexible application". In order to change the traditional "full-room irrigation" phenomenon that teachers tell the whole story, students passively accept it, teachers treat different students equally one-to-many, top students don't have enough to eat for a long time, and underachievers don't understand it for a long time, the new era school has implemented the teaching of walking classes. On the basis of the original class, it is reorganized into three classes with different levels: A, B and C; The implementation of hierarchical teaching, according to the students' academic performance and development needs, the main courses such as mathematics and English are divided into three levels: A, B and C, and the implementation of class teaching, so as to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and achieve asynchronous standards. "Hierarchical classes are an important means to implement differentiated education, aiming at solving the realistic problem that students with different learning levels in the same subject are quite different." As a special Chinese teacher, Vice President Xie said frankly, "This avoids students of different levels mixing together, and it is difficult for teachers to satisfy the top students in the class and digest the contradictions of the underachievers." In traditional teaching, it is impossible to objectively and fairly judge the development of students by relying on the evaluation methods of absolute scores and absolute rankings of students. So, how to scientifically and objectively judge whether students' grades have improved? In the practical exploration of differentiated education, people in the new era weaken normative reference evaluation, strengthen standard evaluation and developmental evaluation, encourage progress, demand standards and be their best. Graduation examination is oriented to diagnosis, and non-graduation examination is oriented to inspection; In order to provide students with opportunities for success and promote the development of each student, people in the new era have changed the traditional "one size fits all" examination and implemented differentiated examinations. Of course, in order to know students' mastery of knowledge in time, people in the new era can intelligently test students' academic diagnosis at any time, which not only provides scientific and convenient tools for teaching diagnosis, but also provides "massive" content resources for teaching, overcoming the problem that traditional teaching is difficult to effectively screen out students' unqualified knowledge points. For a long time, our evaluation only emphasizes the role of screening and selection, while ignoring the role of improvement and motivation; Only pay attention to academic performance, but ignore students' all-round development and individual differences; Only pay attention to the results, pay attention to the evaluation of current achievements, and ignore the evaluation of development level. Therefore, people in the new era have explored and practiced the education evaluation system for many years, and initially established a comprehensive evaluation index system of education quality from six aspects: academic level, personality specialty, physical and mental health, behavioral norms, academic burden and practical innovation. Based on the evaluation concept of "trusting every student, developing every student and achieving every student", people in the new era do not use the same ruler to measure different students, but use a good evaluation mechanism to promote students' self-education and self-growth. Differentiated education can help students grow up and light up their bright future.
